Ghosts have performed a prominent part in British history since before Shakespeare’s dawn, and after dead King Hamlet begged his son’s most-eternal question, have become the country’s moral guardian. Whether ghoul or haunt, specter or fiery apparition, or even when arisen as a romantic Victorian figure, ghosts have endured, in writings, in art, and now on our TVs, adding dimension to each new generation’s spiritual environment, bringing solace, and providing perspective on what it means to remain alive and our fear for how we all shall die. ~ Reviewed by Ray Marsocci

This book hit all the points for me, it is a testament to the human trait we are missing in our modern world. What does it mean to us, as a species, to walk? According to Kagge, it is everything. It not only is our most natural waking state, so necessary to our wellbeing, through breath and exercise, but also to our mental state, and our connection with our surroundings. It has become common knowledge that being in nature can be healing, and this book takes it even further, it is also necessary to our creative selves, as well as our stress levels, to walk alone in harmony with our world, allows our brains the space they need to create. Without this essential component, are we only existing? ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

“According to a much-referenced study, we humans are worse at concentrating than a goldfish. Humans today lose their concentration after eight seconds, while the goldfish averaged nine.” E. Kagge
What have we lost, by filling our every waking moment with a noise, a sound bite? If you go for a walk, do you put your earbuds in? When you drive, is the music on? Although, Kagge appreciates these things in themselves, at certain times, it’s the silence he really wants us to appreciate. Are we losing ourselves, by always listening to others. ~ Reviewed by Becky Doherty

A blazing account of occultism through the ages and the many bizarre people--Dunglas Home, Aleister Crowley and William Blake--who populated it, and the most intriguing book on the subject I've read. Wilson 's air of mystery prose style is well researched and packed with enough detail to keep you reading on through it's massive page count. But it's so juicy that by the end you'll wish there was more. ~ Reviewed by Alex Bell
